[OSM-talk-nl] That Shouldn't Be Possible™ coverage extended to Benelux

[Gertjan Idema]

Goedemorgen Robert.

That's a great tool you built!
>From now on I'll have to pay attention where I ride my bike ;-) As you
might know, dutch cyclists ride their bike everywhere no matter whether
it should or shouldn't be possible.
But we (OSM mappers) always stick to the rules of course, so for us It's
a wonderful addition to our toolbox.  

Thanks for sharing this with us.

It's still in what I would call a prototype stage, but it works surprisingly well for "motorcar" traces (less so for bicycle so far, though I would say that's largely the fault of OSRM's bicycle profile). Even so[3] I encourage mappers to try it out[4] on one of their traces.
